Border Collies, like many Dog Breeds, typically care for their puppies for about 8 to 12 weeks after birth. During this time, the mother provides essential care, including nursing, grooming, and teaching social skills. After this period, the puppies should be gradually weaned and socialized to prepare for their new homes. The mother's instinct to nurture diminishes as the puppies become more independent.
